that the li vest north western state might be proud i of it is pushing its interests out at home i and abroad until lour continents now feel the effect of its propaganda first to recover from the disasters of the re ' construction period tennessee was also first to shake off the lethargy bred of j that industry-killing period and before the world could believe that the staunch old co

appreciate them one county shelby of which memphis is the seat was for a long time the ban ner cotton county of the world and last year it was only the fifth in point of production of all cotton producing counties tennessee leads the united states in corn ! this is the more aston ishing when it is remembered that several states belonging to other sec tions have made their displays at the exposition almost on the basis of corn alone before the supremacy of ten nessee corn they have all bowed the knee if competition were allowed among the state exhibits it is not cer tain that tennessee might not capture the palm in tobacco as well as to minerals there is no doubt about the proud position it maintains there are twenty-three producing coal mines in the state just one of which supplies a large proportion of the firesides of new orleans in the production of iron tennessee ranks with alabama and georgia from chattanooga to the state line railways traverse a region teeming with iron

already affianc ed to another he demanded her hand in marriage and was of course rejected enraged at this he studied how to be revenged profoundly skilled in the mechanical arts he allowed himself no rest until he had invented the most for midable weapon which could be imagin ed this was a key of large size the handle of which was so constructed that it could be turned round with little dif ficulty when turned it discovered a spring which on pressure launched from the other end a needle or lancet of such subtle fineness that it entered into the flesh and buried itself there without leaving external trace tebal do waited in disguise at the door of the church in which the maiden whom he loved was about to receive the nuptial benediction the assassin sent the slender steel

cutting deep into the wounded part extracted the needle before any mortal mischief had commenced and saved the life of the lady the state inquisition used every means to discover the hand which dealt these insidious and irresistible blows the visit of tebaldo to the convent caused suspicion to fall heavily upon him his house was carefully searched the infamous invention discovered and he perished
